[Financial News, Incheon = Lee Hae-ram, Kim Hyeong-gu]Han Byung-do, floor leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, declared on the 27th, "We will enter a legislative war," and added, "We will not tolerate even a bit of the People Power Party's obstruction of state affairs."
At a workshop for lawmakers held that day at Inspire Hotel & Resort in Yeongjong District, Incheon, ahead of the regular session of the National Assembly, Han said, "From legislation on housing supply, which is closely tied to people's lives, to the enactment of a mega special district law for the success of the three major mega projects, the establishment of a Future Response Fund that will serve as a catalyst for future growth, and solutions to youth issues and police reform, there is not a single task that is not urgent."
Han stressed, "The 100 days of this regular session will be a golden time that will determine not only the success of the Lee Jae-myung administration, but also the fate of the Democratic Party of Korea," adding that it "will be a decisive turning point for a great leap forward for South Korea."
He continued, "This workshop should be a place where we fiercely discuss which issues to handle, by when and how, for the success of the Lee Jae-myung administration, and strengthen our resolve." He added, "It should also be a venue where the party, government and presidential office join forces to present a vision to the public."
Han said, "What the Democratic Party of Korea must do in this regular session is clear. We must produce concrete results that will bring real change to people's lives," adding, "Through more organic cooperation among the party, government and presidential office, including the regularization of high-level and working-level party-government meetings, we will set priorities for state tasks and livelihood bills, and carefully prepare deadlines and negotiation strategies."
He also said, "We will make the National Assembly a place that works for the people, even if that means actively using the shortened fast-track system," and added that handling next year's budget, which is expected to be the largest ever, is also an important task.
Han said, "We will secure a robust budget to ease the difficulties of everyday life and ensure that investments needed for youth jobs and housing, the recovery of small merchants and the self-employed, regional growth and the nurturing of future industries are made on time." He added, "This year as well, we will pass a budget bill that supports livelihood recovery and future growth within the legal deadline without disruption."
